like i said it _will_ work with the A4 45mm's on the front - there are some
on the list who are running the A4 45mm's all around w/ stock 205-55-16 tires
---- but it comes _really_ close to the control arm up front...like really
close...  it does fit tho..  i just had visions about hard cornering and the
tire coming in contact w/ the control arm and tearing open....    so thats
why the 38mm A8 rims work best up front.. plenty of room between tire and
control arm.    if you are going to be running the A4 rims all around i'd use
a small spacer up front..just IMO
